This is a modern web-based companion that works alongside Julia Child's classic cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume I. I've assembled hundreds of inspiring pictures and engaging articles written by the world-wide food blogging community about the recipes from this book. I hope that this project will offer something new to Julia Child fans as it grows through community involvement.

How You Can HelpI've collected links for almost all the master recipes, which covers roughly half the content of the book. The book lists many variations that provide the other half, and this is where I need your help!

If you have blogged about one of the recipes that's not listed in this post or is on this list of remaining recipes, please leave a comment or email me at whiskfoodblog[at]gmail{dot}com and include the following information:

Shari, this is simply amazing! It makes me want to make something that's missing (or something that isn't...) What a great project...and a great resource and source of enjoyment for us! I can't wait for the movie, but I'll hang out here in the meantime. Bon Appetit!Audrey

Wow, that's a bit overwhelming! I'm incredibly impressed both with the forethought and the execution - what a very neat and thoughtful idea! I think I need to putter through those posts in the very near future :)

First, congratulations on being a featured blog on the site! This sounds like an incredible project. I haven't cooked from Mastering the Art yet, but I just recently read My Life in France. Now, I'm inspired to cooked from MTA for Bastille Day.

Wow, what an undertaking! This is wonderful. I had no idea till I saw a link on Twitter today; so glad I did.

You might like to know that for the past 3 years I've hosted a Julia Child birthday celebration, in which food bloggers make a dish from one of Mrs. Child's books and post about it. Then I do a roundup of the dishes, and we all "talk" about Julia. It's a fun way to remember and honor JC. I'm even more excited this year on account of the movie!

What a wonderful, WONDERFUL idea! Kudos to you. This will be so helpful to so many people. And, will encourage folks who have never tried any of those masterful recipes to give them a shot! Thank you so much!

oh my goodness! what a great and daunting project you undertook! I am excited by the potential of all those blog links and noted a few of my favorites featured (esp. la tartine gourmande--love that one for the photography). i too read julie and julia a couple years ago, and it got me thinking about blogging as well--Can't wait to explore this resource more!!!

Shari, you have really created a spectacular reference resource! I am so impressed and can't quite get my head around all the work that must have gone into this project. I look forward to taking more time to click through the content. What a spectacular contribution to the Julia & Julie project. Congratulations!

This is a really great idea, and a wonderful resource. I know a lot of people tend to be kind of intimidated just by the name Julia Child - having this resource available will really make a lot of people a lot more comfortable.

Shari, what an amazing effort! I can't even imagine how you put that together. It's absolutely wonderful. I'm sure Julia Child is looking down in happiness that her recipes are reaching so many people.

WOW! That is quite a collection and an amazing one at that. I am so impressed with the time and everything that has gone into your project. I've had my eye on Julia Child's book so hopefully soon I will grab one and get started. This is so inspiring.

WOW! What an honor and an undertaking!! I'll get back to you with some tasting and cooking notes. I learned from Julia while cooking over a wood-stove in the foothills of northern California! LOL! What fun...and what a task!! Well done Shari!!

Shari! First of all: congratulations on being featured in their website. This is not only great exposure for you, but a magnificent piece of validation of your great work in this site!! Yay for you!!!!Secondly: what an amazing project you've got going on here. I think it's a great and significant contribution to the overall enterprise. You're adding tremendous value! I wish I could contribute, but I must admit I'm a Julia Child virgin, I don't think I've ever made on of her recipes. But, you know what, I think I'm going to brush up one of her books and start getting acquainted with her, because I want to enjoy this movie and this movement!Thanks!

Wow, that was just the most awesome post! I can't believe you found all of those recipes online and that you cooked/baked a lot of them yourself! You are an inspiration! I'd love to try one of the open recipes - I'll definitely let you know if I'm successful!

Hi, I just love this blog, your pictures are great! I've just started mine, so I'm pretty new to this, but I did post about Supremes de Volaille a la Milanaise, or Chicken Breasts Rolled in Parmesan and Fresh Bread Crumbs with brussels sprouts braised in butter. My pics aren't too great, but it sure tasted good.Please check it out if you get a chance, I'd love to be included on your page!

WOW! What an amazing resource you've created. I have been blogging French recipes for the month of February, and I so wish I had discovered this earlier! Glad I found it either way. Can't wait to check out the rest of your blog!
